“If the doctor of today does not become the nutritionist of tomorrow, the nutritionist of today will become the doctor of tomorrow.”  Thomas A. Edison

How many servings of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and the like do you eat in an average day?

Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you. (Acts 27:34; NKJ)

Welcome back.  I pray you had a great weekend and now you’re sitting on the edge of your seat waiting the announcement of the third step.  A little drum roll and may I have the card please?

The third simple step to great health is to eat more superfoods.  Superfoods?  Food with a red cape and a big “S” emblazoned on it somewhere?  No, no, no…superfood is simply nutrition-rich food.  Today’s link is a list of foods that most consider to be superfoods.  I bet you could name most of them with out even looking.  And no, donuts are not on the list–but dark chocolate is, hallelujah!

My resident expert, Sharon, wrote a short article about superfoods as recently as two months ago (5/8/08).  She even included a link that was a list of superfoods (the link I’m using today is similar, but a little simpler in my view).  Sharon likes to call them “God-foods.”  Whole books have been written on this topic.  But again, for most of us, we need to keep it simple. 

The simple bottom line is eat more superfoods this week than you did last.  How many superfoods should you eat?  How many more than last week?  All up to you.  If you only eat one a day on average (and believe it or not, there are some who don’t even eat one a week), then adding one or two superfoods a day is going to begin to make a big difference.  The issue is simply “more,” not how many more.

Simple enough, right?  So see…as I predicted, a little more complex than water and exercise, but with the help of a list, it’s just as easy.  Only one more simple step to go.  Tune in again on Wednesday and get the final simple step to great health.  See you then.

Prayer Power
Lord, we thank You for the food You provide–the God-foods.  Try as they may, man has still not been able to improve perfection.  We thank You that not only did You design our bodies to run on natural foods, but that you also provided those foods.  We simply couldn’t ask for better care.

Blessings on you as you purpose to add one superfood to your diet this very day.
